Question 1: [1x5 marks] [estimated time 5 minutes] 1. Consider file content “This is a new file”
Supply the missing words to complete the statements.
#include <stdio.h>
end-of-file marker informs the program that
1. The _______________ int main(){
there’s no more data to process. FILE* p;
2. "rb+"
_________ mode opens an existing binary file for int n = 0;
update. p = fopen("newname.txt", "rb");
if (p == NULL)
3. A C program administers each file with a separate
printf("Error opening file");
_____________
FILE structure.
else {
4. __________
rewind() repositions the file position pointer to
while (fgetc(p) != EOF) {
the beginning (byte 0) of the file. ++n;
5. Function ____________
fseek() repositions the file position }
pointer to a specific location in the file. if (feof(p)) {
printf("%d\n", n);
Question 2: [1x5 marks] [estimated time 5 minutes] } else
puts("End-of-File was not reached.");
In the following questions mark True or False.
a) (T / F) Function fopen takes three arguments. fclose(p);
}
b) (T / F) When you open a file for writing, fopen
return 0;
doesn’t warn you if the file already exists.
}
c) (T / F) Function feof returns true only after the
program attempts to read the nonexistent data
Output: ______________________________________
"Error opening file"
following the last line.
2.
d) (T / F) Function fread returns the number of
#include <stdio.h>
items it successfully inputs.
int main(){
e) (T / F) You should always close a file as soon as
FILE* pFile;
it’s no longer needed.
pFile = fopen("sample.txt", "wt");
Question 3: [4x3 marks] [estimated time 10 minutes] for (char c = 'F'; c >= 'A'; c--) {
putc(c, pFile);
Dry Run the pseudocode and write the expected
}
output in the File. (Write “Blank” for no output or
fclose(pFile);
write “compile Error” if there is any error).
return 0;
}

Output: _____________________________________
"FEDCBA"

into a third file “C.txt” while ((ch = fgetc(file)) != EOF) {

lines in the file on Console. lines++;
}
_____________________________________________ _____________________________________________
}
